I'll simply be putting up a collection of poems I write in the second post of this thread.
Feel free to comment, critique, or simply bump the thread.

.: Rules of my thread MUST be followed :.

o1. Constructive criticism is loved and encouraged.
o2. Flaming and other rude behavior will be ignored and possibly reported.
o3. Feel free to share my writings, as long as it is credited towards me.
o4. Any stealing and claiming as your own, be it of my work or others, will not be tolerated.
o5. Feel free to strike up conversation, I'm not known to bite the kind ones.
o6. Senseless chatter not related to poetry or prose should not be had.
... I shall add more later, perhaps. For my mind easily misplaces things ...

The Sweet and the Dead
- a collection of poems varying from sweet to deadly -

Useless Dreaming
My dream is that one day, you will fall in love with me
That one day, we will have a love that tops all others.

Now I don't want just some sappy romance
No, I want us to be in love
But I want it to be real, not fake
Not one of the staged romance novel-type loves
Those romances revolve around just the couple

Yet, in real life, one cannot stand alone with just one person
One must have others to fall back one if--
When their loved one fails to meet their needs
When their loved one cannot love them anymore

A sappy romance is all flowers and stars
Yet no one seems to realize just how impossible that is

A useless dream created by those who cannot stand on their own two feet
A useless dream that could never come true
And that is why, I may never dream again.
